MORE MUSIC: PRE-PARTIES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS
To kick off the weekend of music, Bear Creek will have an official Pre-Party on Wednesday night featuring Honey Island Swamp Band, Juno What!?, Thomas Wynn & the Believers, Gravity A, Pepper Drive, Trial By Stone, funkUs in The Music Hall.

COSTUME PARTIES ANNOUNCED
Friday night of Bear Creek will see the first of two costume parties with the theme WARM & FUZZY, so bring your warm & fuzzy costumes – long johns, smoking jackets, hats, fleeces, animal outfits and more – to get into the spirit. To honor the funk roots of Bear Creek, Saturday night’s theme FUNK SOLDIERS GONE WILD brings back the disco era with leisure suits, bell-bottoms, and all the disco funk you can gather.
